THQ announces that Homefront has invaded stores worldwide, offering Windows, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 gamers the chance to play Kaos Studios' first-person shooter based on a near-future invasion of the U.S.A. by the Greater Korean Republic. The release is accompanied by this new trailer combining live action and gameplay footage showing the (hopefully) fictional future history that leads to a unified Korea, the invasion and occupation of the U.S., and the resistance that is the central theme of the game. "Homefront combines a unique, emotive single player campaign with an incredible online multiplayer experience," said Danny Bilson, EVP Core Games, THQ. "Kaos Studios has created the definitive large scale warfare experience on console and PC, and innovations like Battle Points and Battle Commander offer a completely new twist on the genre, and make the game accessible and rewarding for newcomers and FPS veterans alike."

Games take more time and money to make, I understand why resource intensive single player can be so short. Not that that means they are worth buying, each to their own.

If you make a 10-15 hour campaign you likely designed a lot of levels where you do the same thing over and over again rather than designing new game play elements each time the player progress's.

It's sad that modern gamers have been so brainwashed by today's ridiculously short games as to believe this nonsense. I have absolutely no opinion about Homefront itself. I haven't been following it and wish it as much success as it may or may not deserve, however, a 5 hour single player game for $60 SHOULD be an insult to anyone actually buying a game for it's single player component. There's no whitewashing that, especially if, as you say, they have been emphasizing the single player aspect of the game. The multiplayer component of games like CoD (and I assume Homefront) are so full of asshats that I just don't mess with it so when I buy a game like this, it's for it's single player, so I definitely appreciate it when others provide a warning about the length of the single player campaign.
